The Southeast Webster Grand School district willconduct a special election for a Physical Plant and Equip-ment Levy (PPEL) on Tuesday, Feb. 3.

The new tax levy will combine a surtax on a personstate income tax and also the property tax levy. SWGSchool Superintendent Rich Stouffers afrmed that thenext levy would probably not affect property taxes at all.

This school district has operated with an infrastruc-ture tax levy for more than 30 years and currently the taxlevy is 52 cents per $1,000 of taxable valuation. The tax

levy on the Feb. 3 ballot would increase that tax levy to$1 per $1,000 of taxable valuation, but the remaining 48cents would come from a state income tax hike. Federalincome taxes would not be affected.

The current school tax levy will expire in 2016. Thenew tax levy, if approved, would continue for 10 years.

According to a statement released by the schoolboard, your property taxes may or may not go up, as thenew $1 PPEL resolution contains language that mixes inincome surtax, not all property taxes, as does the currentPPEL.

If the measure is approved it would impose an in-come surtax upon the state individual commencing withcalendar year 2015 (the percent of income surtax not toexceed 20%).

Among the 338 school districts in Iowa, 281 havesome income surtax in their levy.

Southeast Webster Grand has used tax levy funds in

the past for construction of new additions; heating systemupgrades and repairs; technology items like computers;purchase of school buses; roof, gym oor replacement;and more.

Webster alerts! allows you to select from 35alerts including tornado warnings, blizzard watches, andlaw enforcement events. You can choose to receive theseby voice to a phone, by text to a cell phone, and by e-mail.

You may nd that timely notice is helpful from time totime. For instance, alerts for a winter storm watchwere issued at 6:00 and 10:30 am on January 4 with thepotential for heavy snow or signicant ice accumulations.This was followed, at 3:45 that afternoon, by a full stormwarning with a prediction of 4-7 inches of snow. The next day, a county snow ordinance alertcame at 1:45 in the afternoon, advising that tickets wouldbe issued after midnight. That evening, a Fort Dodgesnow ordinance alert went out at 6:20, effective immedi-ately, with ticketing and towing after 9 pm. Former Dayton Police Chief Nick Dunbar saidthat he usually issued Dayton alerts for some severeweather, snow ordinance, lost pets, and law enforce-ment issues. The City Ofce also has access to broadcastalerts on NIXLE. Last year, a NIXLE alert explained thatthere would be a multiple-department drill with DaytonsGrandview Health Care Center that included police, am-bulances, aircraft and search dogs. Former ofcer Dunbar recalls participating inthe decision to use NIXLE. He feels that these systemsare a great way for citizens to stay informed and con-nected with their community while looking out for thesafety and welfare of their family and neighbors.

Dunbars resignationmay affect DaytonsEmergency serviceSeveral applyor Police Chief position. . .

Dayton Police Chief Nick Dunbar, who organizedDaytons NIXLE emergency notication system, re-signed as Dayton Police Chief on Dec. 22.

Dunbar worked a few more weeks beyond that dateas Police Chief but now is no longer employed by theCity of Dayton.

Dunbar organized NIXLE and also posted notices forthis service. It is assumed that the next chief will retainthe system, but this isnt certain.

The City of Dayton has advertised for this posiitonand has received several applications. It will take a fewweeks for both the city and prospective applicants tomake make a decision.

During these intervening weeks the system may not

be functioning as it has been.

Construction of 109 turbine wind farm

progresses north of HarcourtTower construction starts early June. . . On Monday, May 19, several very largesemi trucks carrying turbine blades, generatorsand tower parts began rolling into SoutheastWebster County north of Harcourt. This is thenext stage in a 109 tower wind farm .

The wind farm known as a LundgrenWind Project Site is being developed threemiles north of Harcourt between Highway 169N. and County Road P61. The 72-square milesite, when nished, will probably be consid-

ered the largest construction project in WebsterCounty history.The foundation for each of the wind

towers contains 425 cubic yards of concreteand 53,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. Eachtower consists of three parts totaling a height ofaround 260 feet. On top of the tower is a genera-tor or nacelle weighing over 180,000 pounds.

Attached to the nacelle is a rotor as-sembly containing three blades that measureover 170 feet each bringing the total height ofthe tower and the blades to over 430 feet. Eachtower would then be around 30 stories. With thetallest buildings in Fort Dodge measuring 10

to 12 stories, this makes the towers the talleststructures in Webster County.

Each tower when nished will generatearound 2.3 megawatts. That is enough to powerfor over 700 homes. The next stage in the project will be the

erection of the towers. This will begin the rstweek in June with a completion date of some-time in December. After that the sites will becleaned up, with the land and roads restored.

The roads will be graded with new grav-el added as needed. Next year farmers should beable to start planting crops within about 20 feetof each tower. Construction of the wind farm started inearly November, 2013.

David Hurd, site construction manager,had one nal comment. He emphasizes thatthere are heavy equipment and trucks movingaround the site. If you dont have a reason tobe there please stay away for your safety and

the safety of my crew, he afrmed.

Each wind turbine blade is more than430 ft long.

October 21, 1873: A special meeting held bythe Board of Directors of the independent District of WestDayton, moved and carried that we have 4 months ofschool for the Winter, commencing the First of December

July 7, 1887: At a meeting of the Board ofDirectors, Motion seconded and carried that John C. beemployed to teach as Principal in the Dayton Schools,during the coming school year, at $65.00 per month. Andthat the Board President be ordered to telegraph, at once,to John C. informing him of his election.

September 5, 1887:Moved and carried that theteachers be paid $1.75 extra per month, for doing theirown janitor work.

May 18, 1888: John C. was selected as Princi-pal at a salary of $66.75 per month AND will be doing hisown Janitor work.

July 8, 1890: Miss F. W. was chosen Principalat a salary of $55.00 per month. Miss V. F. was chosenfor the position of Primary teacher, and Miss C. was cho-sen for the Grammar Department: the former at $37.50per month, and the latter at $35.00 per month in salary.

September 5, 1890: Seconded and carried thatthe school house be closed against all gatherings, exceptfor religious services.

May 13, 1892: Seconded and carried that therebe 8 months of school during the coming school year.

*Just a little look back in time. Before indoorplumbing, or any plumbing at all. Back in the day whenthey had to move an out house from the neighbors to theschool grounds.

Note they hired a janitor (one of "the Boys") in1886 - but by 1887, they paid the teachers and the Prin-cipal an extra $1.75 per month to do their own janitorialwork. I'm assuming that "the Boys" meant they offeredthe job to one of their older students and it didn't workout.

Did they pay the female Principal $10 a monthless to be Principal, just because she was a female?

By the way, in that time period, all referencesto female teachers was "Miss" - there were no "Mrs."mentioned even once, from 1872-1919. There was also alot of turnover in the teaching staff (like about every two

years). Maybe that's because all the "Misses" became"Mrs." and could therefore, no longer teach.

I have written previously, probably several times,about all that farm wives and others of the era of myyouth doing many things without the equipment of to-days world. The appliances and tools available now werenot even imagined then. The canning process was onemost housewives on farms as well as others did if theylived where there was ground available to plant a garden.Hopefully the man of the house would do the heavytilling and that was with cruder hand operated equipment.Once the plants were growing it might be a family projectto keep it weeded and the ground loosened by hoeing,

When the vegetables had matured a new processbegan, that of harvesting (we called it picking) and pre -serving. The home method in those days was canning inpint and quart (and sometimes half gallon) jars with zinclids sealed by rubber rings which t the tops of the jars.Many were cold packed. The method was to put the veg-etables in jars in their raw state with the proper amountof water and often salt. They were put in the canner orconservo and water was brought to a simmer. The timein the bath depended upon the vegetable. The waterlevel had to be maintained during the cooking. The lidshad been placed loosely on the jars for this process. Oncethey had simmered long enough the jars were carefullyremoved to the counter or table on which there was athick pad of towels. Towels were placed around the hotjars with which to hold them and there was a tool that tover the lid. The lid was then tightened causing the jarring to make a tight seal and thus preserve the food.

The conservo was a bit different. It was a metalcabinet, two tiered with racks and a door opening to eachtier. On the bottom was a well in which the water wasplaced. Instead of the jars being in a bath they weresurrounded by constant steam. This canner had to bewatched closely and the well kept full of HOT water. Itwas a bit easier to handle those jars as they may have abit of steam coating but didnt have to be lifted out of

very hot water. Back in those days there were usually two areas

where all the canned vegetables, fruits, pickles and pre-serves were kept. There were also bins for the potatoeswhich we watched carefully to remove any that mighthave a bad spot that could taint others. Cabbages werewrapped in thick layers of paper and could last quite awhile that way. Carrots too, could survive raw a littlelonger in containers of sand. And then there were the bigcrocks of dill pickles. There was either a cellar under thehouse or a nearby cave. Because they were both severalfeet below the surface they were cooler for warm monthsand didnt freeze during the cold ones. It is easy to imag-ine the cellar, just a crude form of basement either acces-sible by an inside stairway (if you had a fancier house)or an outside access with a lift up door similar to that of

the caves of the time. There were plenty of shelves inboth the cellars and caves. The cave had been dug out and

Cellers and caves and grape juiceusually brick lined. The cave extended upward and had adome shape on the outside with an opening covered by aslanted lift up door to the few steps going down.

On the Boone County farm there was a cellar withstairs accessible off the pantry and another from the trapdoor on the back porch. At my aunts place there was acellar under the house but only an outside access withthe slanted door. In the winter, to avoid too many trips,she would use her market basket to bring up a number ofitems she would be using in the next few days. When sheand my uncle bought a house in town there was a cavenear the back door. In later years, however, she felt thatnot only was the door deteriorating and dangerous shoulda neighborhood child happen to want to play on or in it,the cave itself was no longer stable. Rather than have itreplaced, the cave, it was decided, had served its time as asafe storage for anything. It was leveled and sodded overand you wouldnt know a cave had ever occupied thatarea. The cave hadnt been used in years and my auntand uncle had modernrized the house by raising andinstalling a real basement and adding a new back entry-way and bathroom and updating the kitchen with built incupboards with a sink and hot and cold running water andan auxiliary shower in the basement.

The rst place I lived, born there but not remem-bered as my home, had a cave. In later years after wemoved to Boxholm my dads brother and family livedthere.The cave was still there but had been repaired andan actual entry with a privy like structure with a real doorplaced for access to the stairs. My aunt, as all good farm-wives, did lots of canning. One year the grapevines hadyielded so well she got tired of making jelly so decidedto make a number of quarts of juice. We were visitingduring the following winter months and my aunt askedmy mom to test the grape juice. It appeared to be quitewell sealed, she said, but it tastedfunny:. Was she goingto have to toss it all? She poured bit in a glass and it wasclear and beautiful. Mom took a very small sip, her nosedwrinkled and her head shook. She then said, Merle,youve got some real good wine here! I never did ndout what happened to all that grape juice. The Downswere just not imbibers.

Fran Popp, Dayton beauty salon owner,for 23 years, was raised on a farmHelped husband Duane withChirstmas lighting at Oak Park...

By: Nicole Presley

Born in Nebraska and raised in Peterson, Iowa, FranPopp, Dayton, has lived on a farm for much of her life.

Fran and her siblings, Emma and Franklin, didchores on the farm while their father did the bigger choresnecessary to take care of the farm.

We had chicken chores, we had sheep, played withdogs, cats, said Fran. We had sheep and cattle and thendad did farming.

Fran attended Sioux Valley High School in the Pe-terson and Linn Grove area of Iowa. Fran and her highschool class were the rst to attend Sioux Valley HighSchool when Linn Grove and Peterson school districtsmerged. She graduated in 1964.

After high school Fran graduated from beauty school

in Spencer, Iowa in 1965. One thing that sticks out inFrans mind when she thinks of beauty school is the snow.

I remember one day we went to school with snowup to our knees and got there and they sent us backhome, said Fran. Of course if youve ever been inSpencer youd understand that...You get snow up there.Believe me.

After beauty school Fran married her husband,Duane, a year later in 1966.

Fran worked various jobs at hair salons in Fort Dodgeand moved to Dayton, where she owned a beauty saloncalled Dayton Beauty Salon in 1984. The beauty salonhas not been in business since Frans retirement in 2007.

Fran also had a farm with her husband where theyraised hogs for 14 years.

We had this one hog that used to follow us from

building to building and all we had to do was call hername and shed follow us wherever we went, said Fran.

We had this same sow that would get out when welet her out and she would come along and nip at yourpants. She just wanted to be petted.

Frans children also rode the hogs when they wereyounger.

Fran and her late husband were known in Dayton forerecting Christmas lights in Oak Park and driving their

1970 Plymouth Fury 3 convertible in the Labor Day pa -rade.

Since Duanes passing one year ago Fran has notbeen able to decorate Oak Park with Christmas lights.Duane and Fran had stopped driving their Plymouth Fury3 in the Labor Day parade about three years ago.

A large snowstorm transformed Dayton, Lehigh, Harcourt and area towns into a winter wonderland early last week.A City of Dayton snow removal unit pushed snow at the east edge of town last week.

Extreme cold weather, a snowstorm with about sixinches of snow, and wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour af-fected winter driving, church attendance, event cancella-tions, and school hours last week in Dayton and the SWGSchool District.

On Wednesday of last week the high temperature forthe day was minus 7 degrees and the low was -18. Thewind chill was obviously much colder than that.

Those cold temps were preceded by a snowstormthat started Monday afternoon and nished early Tues-day morning. The entire week included severe cold tem-peratures, drifting of snow affected by strong winds, ahalf-foot accumulation of snow on the ground, and snowcovered roads in our communities.

Major roads were cleared early and town roads werealso well serviced.

School hoursThe SWG Schools in Dayton and Burnside had a

two-hour early dismissal on Monday; a two hour late starton Tuesday; no school on Wednesday; and a two hour latestart on Thursday and two hour early dismissal Thursdayafternoon.

Snowstorm, cold temps, high windscurtail hours at SWG SchoolsBig snowfall, extreme cold. . .

Dayton Elementary Principal Dan Grandeld statedthat school ofcials determine late starts, early dismiss-als, and school closings based on weather forecasts, windchills, snow activity, visibility, road conditions and otherfactors. Almost every school in the state was closed onWednesday, including the Des Moines schools, statedGrandeld.

The highs during the week never exceeded the teens,but temps were projected to reach the low twenties for

highs by the weekend.

Amanda Towery, Nail Technician

The poor and the helpless have ed to you andhave been safe in time of trouble. You give them shelterrom storms and shade from the burning heat. Cruel

men attack like a winter storm. Isaiah 25:4 With gasoline prices hovering around $4.00 a gal-

lon, foreclosures on homes reaching drastic levels, and theprice of necessities such as food and electricity increasing,many families are struggling to survive. They are strugglingto keep food on the table, and a roof over their heads.

Some families are at the breaking point - wherethey are waiting for the nal notice on their home. Someof these people are asking - how can a loving God let thishappen?

Thinking back about Jesus disciples - at one mo-ment everything seemed to be smooth sailing, they were en-oying the popularity that went with Jesus, and then, all of a

sudden, they were fearful for their lives. And like Job, lives seemed to be shattered at an

instant, without any warning or reason. All at once, every-thing that could go wrong, did. Like Job, many have faceddisease, and without health insurance the bills have all but

buried them. And like Job, these people wonder what Godsplan for them is.

Did you know that Job was never told why he suf-fered? The reason he suffered was to silence the devil...andthe reason you may be suffering now is not because of yoursins, not because of your failures, but to silence the devil.We need to prove to the devil that we love God not for whatHe has given us, but for who He is.

Despite all the suffering Job went through, Godprotected him, telling Satan that he could not take Jobs life(Job 1:12), just like God protects all of His children (Psalm3:3). God is a protector of His children, just like He pro-tected the Hebrews from Pharoah, fed them manna, and ledthem to the promised land.

Like Christs disciples or Job, we may not un-derstand why these hardships come, and why our faith is

shaken. We may never know what is going on in the greatscheme of life, but we know that God is in control, and thatHe has great plans for us. He will reward us for our faithand our suffering with blessings greater than we expect orcan even imagine...for our God is a strength to the poor andneedy.

Christmas memoriesinclude playingany card games

By Amanda DeVries

The holidays in my family used to be full oflaughter, card games, food and traveling.

When we lived in Missouri, we would travel toIowa for Christmas when my folks could afford it andonce we were here I didnt want to go back home.

On my moms side, before my aunt in the armyretired she would y in from Hawaii, one great unclewould come from Minnesota and sometimes the othergreat uncle would come from Montana. Pretty much ev-eryone else was already in Gowrie, or Webster City. Before my generation started having kids, therewould be around 20 of us gathered around the table, mi-nus the three (including me) at the kiddie table in thekitchen. I couldnt wait for the year that I was allowed tosit with the adults.

Once the meal was done, the women gathered inthe kitchen to clean up. Us kids played upstairs or playedcard games. Grandpa would have the television blaring,

almost drowning us out in the dining room. Once thedished were done and the leftovers tucked away for later,we all gathered in the living room to open presents.

The best part of the holiday was playing cards.My uncle Glen won most of the time. We played Hearts,Russian Rummy, Peanuts (and cards ew thru the air of-ten), War, a poker game I cant remember the name of,and a few others. We would laugh so hard wed cry halfthe time when cards would y and we had a blast.

I loved spending Christmas up here because wehad a lot of family to visit. We would go to Webster Cityto see my dads side of the family and that was as muchfun and just as crowded as Gowrie because we all gath-ered at my aunts home. There was 18 to 20 of us.

Christmas in Missouri was interesting and myfolks had a few headaches over the years. We had a cou-

ple of cats that liked the tree and more than once, our OldEnglish Sheep dog, Cleo destroyed the tree and almosteverything on it. It was heartbreaking one morning, shehad destroyed all the wooden ornaments my folks had inGermany. They were handmade wooden ornaments withmice and other creatures in different scenes. The part, her

destroying the tree I will never understand. It had to havebeen the puppy in her needing to chew on things.

My parents worked hard for everything we hadand my dad worked two or three jobs at once to makeends meet. They wanted me to have a good Christmasevery year and they did. I look back on the gifts they gaveme over the years as a kid and I was lucky. I just hope mykids understand someday how I struggle to provide forthem the lifestyle my parents struggled to provide for me.It seems we always want for our kids the things we neverhad, to be more fortunate.

As I grew up and my grandparents died, the hol-idays changed. We had one more Christmas in Gowrie at

Grandma and Grandpa Carrolls, and then my moms sidestarted having Christmas in Webster City at the Commu-nity Center. It was fun for a while but didnt last. Christ-mas ended up being my least favorite holiday of the yearand still is. If I didnt have kids I wouldnt celebrate. ItsJesus birthday, not theirs, and yes I have succomb to so-ciety in wanting my kids to have a good Christmas, but Istill remind them its not about them.

This Christmas, 2014 was special. It was per-haps the best Christmas I have had in years. My youngestson was baptized during the Christmas Eve service, andwas baby Jesus. It was an evening I will never forget.And my kids were happy, they got pretty much every-thing they wanted this year, which was a miracle. I hopeto start new traditions with my kids and hope they havebetter memories, or more memories than I do.

In a reoccurring theme, the Jags wrestled hardbut came up short in a few duals, nishing in fourth place,nishing with a 2-3 record for the day. On the other hand,the Jags notched their rst two dual meet wins of theseason, defeating St. Ed's 45-34 in their second dual ofthe day, following up with a convincing 54-23 win overClarke, Osceola. In the opening dual, the Jags lost a closecontest, 45-33 to Britt, West Hancock; in the fourth dualof the day, the Jags lost to AG-WSR, 48-23 and in the

fth and nal dual eventual champ Roland-Story escapedwith a 39-36 victory."If you look at our individual stats, we had a pret-

ty good day. Spencer and Caleb both went 5-0 for theday while Coltan Klingson, Kaelan Lundberg, and TonyCrampton went 4-1. We almost have to be perfect whenwe are wrestling our duals because of our weights weforfeit. We opened strong against West Hancock winningour rst six matches but had a hiccup at 170
